If someone is doing something suspicious at Navy Yard and ten minutes later they’re at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling, we need to be able to link them together. If we can get a picture and share it immediately, everyone is going to have a better idea of what’s happening. “Someone might describe what a person looked like or what they think they were doing, but pictures are going to reveal the truth. “People call this app the Instagram of suspicious activity reporting,” said Chief Master-At-Arms Mark Russel, NDW criminal investigator.

Anything suspicious that people see can be reported through Eagle Eyes Navy and we’ll take a look at it and determine where it needs to go. We don’t want people just reporting Navy issues. As fast as you can open up the app and report the activity, that’s how fast we can receive it. This gives you the ability to take photographs and type up reports in real-time. “People see things, but sometimes don’t know how to report it. The location of the reported incident determines which installation receives the information. Anyone with the app can report an incident, its location and photos of suspicious activity and the information will be received instantly by designated command representatives on each installation. There is no restriction on who can download or use the Eagle Eyes Navy application. Pretty much everyone has a smart phone and it’ll take less than a minute to do a report.” If it is successful here, it could be a tool that is used Navy-wide. “Within the Navy, NDW is the first region to use this tool.
